The Shijian-19 satellite has achieved several technological breakthroughs and is expected to significantly enhance the technical capabilities and application efficiency of China’s recoverable satellites.
Researchers will also utilize this reusable satellite to conduct space experiments and advance the development of new space technologies, contributing to fields such as microgravity science and space life sciences.
According to the plan, the Shijian-19 satellite will also conduct experiments on space breeding to accelerate the process of gene innovation.
This satellite carries payloads from five countries, including Thailand and Pakistan, to facilitate extensive international cooperation.
This marks the 537th flight mission of the Long March rocket series.
